Taking the Sting Out of Sunburn - December 2018

It's old fashioned, and it's cheap.And it is so very effective that this old wives' remedy needs to be in every first aid kit. It's simple apple cider vinegar and it helps take the sting and burn out of sunburn almost instantly. No one wants to get sunburnt, but sometimes accidents happen, especially in an Australian summer. Soaking a soft face washer in apple cider vinegar and gently laying it over the sunburn brings almost instant relief. Change the washer as it warms up - just rinse it in the vinegar, gently wring, you want it wet but not dripping and repeat. If you can keep the vinegar in the fridge all the better, the cooler it is when applied the faster and better it works.
